Chapter 372 Farce(1/2)
James was eventually replaced by the fourth official. He sat on the sidelines and asked Everton's team doctor to treat the wounds in his eye sockets.
Because it is very close to the eyes, you must be very careful when taking medication. At the same time, the person being treated must cooperate and cannot shake his head.
But how could James care about so much?
He was replaced like this, and he felt very unhappy because he lost the opportunity to take revenge.
Although there is no evidence, the furious James just realized that this was done by Chen Yingxiong. This is definitely not an accident, Chen Yingxiong did it on purpose!
I have to say that his idea is very correct.
But what's the use of this?
Others are already underneath...
When James, who was so angry that he was crazy, he could not suppress the anger in his chest when he thought of this, and he shook his head with gritted teeth.
The last scene he saw when his eyes were still able to see objects normally was a sprayer nozzle facing his eyes, and then a vast white mist suddenly appeared, and he felt a sting of his eyes.
He screamed and fell down on his back...
Then he covered his eyes and wailed, which attracted everyone in the stands to look at him.
Everton's team doctor innocently explained to the people next to him: "It's not me... it's not me... it's him who came up suddenly..."
Someone really couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him: "Stop talking nonsense, wash his eyes quickly!"
The team doctor suddenly woke up and was busy dealing with James' eyes...
This scene was spread to the whole world through live TV cameras.
The FA officials sitting on the rostrum also saw James' declining appearance through the TV screen.
They originally wanted to go to the referee's lounge to check the situation during the intermission. Maybe James can reappear after fifteen minutes of rest?
There is indeed such a hope in their hearts.
But now this hope is completely shattered. If they were complaining about Chen Yingxiong before, then they really have nothing to say now.
James actually hurt himself! Is he a pig?
Some of them suddenly sighed.
It seems like a luxury to try to deal with Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool with such a fool...
"This is really a farce!" Finally someone couldn't help it, lowered his head and muttered this in a very low voice.
※ ※ ※
This is a farce. Since James was injured, everyone's attention has been attracted by him. Now he sees himself suddenly approaching the nozzle of the sprayer, then lying on the ground with his eyes covered and rolling in pain...
Many people find it very speechless.
Even those who were originally sympathetic to James and worried about him suddenly had the idea of "I was actually worried about this idiot."
Perhaps this idea is particularly sympathetic, but this is indeed the true thought of many people.
The image of a young and promising referee collapsed like this.
When everyone shifted their attention from this farce to the court and during the game, they were surprised to find that the injury time in the first half actually had as many as six minutes!
And this is all because of James.
Because of his injury, the injury time in the first half was given for so long.
The game is currently in its 49th minute, the fourth minute of injury time.
Liverpool launched an attack.
He still took the ball directly from the backcourt, and the football quickly passed to Chen Yingxiong. He jumped high and headed the ball.
Carlton Cole received the ball.
The talented winger, who was highly anticipated by Liverpool fans, used his speed to throw away Everton's defender and then made a cross from the bottom.
When he broke through, Chen Yingxiong had already inserted into the penalty area.
Now he jumped high.
There is no one in front of the door to compete with him.
Why did I try my best to get James going?
But it's not just for revenge.
We also have to win this game, win, and score goals!
※ ※ ※
"The heroic lion shook his head—!!"
Accompanied by the commentator's roar, the football flew into the goal!
There is no suspense at all. Just as the first half was about to end, Chen Yingxiong took the lead for Liverpool, and Liverpool finally got the lead they wanted the most!
"Hero! Hero! Hero - gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!! In the fourth minute of injury time, Liverpool won their first goal in this game!"
"Just not long after the referee James was injured, Liverpool reversed their previous disadvantages. They took the initiative to attack and launched a fierce attack on Everton's goal. After a series of suffocating offensives, they finally got the initiative in the game - they took the lead!"
"Everton players thought they could go back to the locker room with a proud draw, but Chen Yingxiong stood up at the last moment to tell them how stupid this idea was! No team could concede the goal in the first half when facing Liverpool! Everton almost did it. But they failed in the end! This must be a very heavy blow for Everton! Because they were about to end the first half, they concede the goal..."
※ ※ ※
James, who had just been "rescued" by Everton's team doctor, was still sitting on the sidelines for treatment when he saw Chen Yingxiong jumping up and hitting the football in.
If it weren't for his injury, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been delayed so much time. Naturally, he wouldn't have given six minutes of stoppage time in the first half, so Chen Yingxiong wouldn't have the chance to score this goal in the 49th minute.
You should know that generally speaking, the first half is only one minute of stoppage time, and most of the time it is not enough to make up for it. At most, it is amazing to make up for three minutes.
Five or six minutes is extremely rare...
Chen Yingxiong happened to score the goal in the fourth minute, nearly five minutes.
I have to say that it was James who gave Chen Yingxiong this opportunity...
When he thought of this, James felt his throat bitter. He shook his head again when he was excited, so his eyes that had been sprayed before were sprayed again...
For the second time, he covered his eyes and screamed and fell down.
But this time he is no longer the protagonist, and no one cares about him or pays attention to him. More people's eyes are on the court, focusing on the person running on the court with his arms wide open!
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong ran to the corner flag area with his arms wide open, then a fish jumped and dived, gliding on the ground. The teammates following him followed suit and glided on the turf with him.
This is the most celebration move Chen Yingxiong has after scoring with his head.
Then everyone hugged each other on the ground.
Liverpool fans cheered in the stands.
The Everton fans were silent and all were silent.
The same is true on both sides' coaching seats.
Martin O'Neal led his men and jumped out of the coach's seat. He raised his arms and shouted wildly to celebrate the goal. Being able to take the lead in the first half greatly boosted his confidence and also gave the opponent a heavy blow - do you want to take a draw into the midfield? No way!
Right next door, Everton's deadly bench and coaching seat.
Moyes thought of his previous worries again.
In his opinion, his worries became reality, but he still didn't know how the other party did it...
He became more anxious.
The first half was about to end, but his team was behind.
How to equalize the score in the second half?
He really has no way of doing it.
※ ※ ※
Not long after Chen Yingxiong scored the goal, the first half ended.
Liverpool got a goal and they took the lead in the game.
This is the result they want, although the number of goals they lead is a little less. But they are always the lead. As long as they lead, Liverpool will use a hundred ways to deal with Everton, making the opponent feel in pain.
They are not worried about scoring the goal at this time, and then immediately enter the intermission break. Their condition will be interrupted.
Liverpool fans were still cheering and singing when the players left the court. Although they were only one goal ahead, they seemed to have seen the smile of the goddess of victory.
※ ※ ※
The halftime break is only fifteen minutes, which is particularly long for some people, such as those Liverpool fans who are looking forward to victory. They want to start the second half immediately and end the game immediately, and then Liverpool won the championship. In this way, Liverpool won six championships this season, only one is the seven championship!
For others, it is extremely short-lived.
For example, Everton's coach Moyes knew that halftime was his last chance.
So he racked his brains to consider what he should do to plug the loophole.
But he didn't even know anything about the loophole.
To be continued...
